Computer Software
Computer software, or simply software, is a part of a computer system
that consists of data or computer instructions, in contrast to the
physical hardware from which the system is built. In computer science
and software engineering, computer software is all information
processed by computer systems, programs and data. Computer software
includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data,
such as online documentation or digital media.
Computer hardwareComputer hardware and
software require each other and neither can be realistically used on
its own.
At the lowest level, executable code consists of machine language
instructions specific to an individual processor—typically a central
processing unit (CPU). A machine language consists of groups of binary
values signifying processor instructions that change the state of the
computer from its preceding state

Joe Becker (Unicode)
Becker (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛkɐ, -kər]) is one of the
German-language surnames, along with Bäcker and Baecker, that derive
from the [baːk]~[bɛk] root, which refers to baking. The surname
began as a name for a baker (and thus his family). In northern Germany
it can also derive from the word Beck for Bach (″creek″ or
″brook″) to denote origin. Notable people with the surname
include:Albrecht Becker (1906–2002), German production designer,
photographer, actor, imprisoned by Nazis for homosexuality

Word Processor
A word processor is an electronic device or computer software
application that performs the task of composing, editing, formatting,
and printing of documents.
The word processor was a stand-alone office machine in the 1960s,
combining the keyboard text-entry and printing functions of an
electric typewriter with a recording unit, either tape or floppy disk
(as used by the Wang machine) with a simple dedicated computer
processor for the editing of text.[1] Although features and designs
varied among manufacturers and models, and new features were added as
technology advanced, word processors typically featured a monochrome
display and the ability to save documents on memory cards or
diskettes

Font
In metal typesetting, a font was a particular size, weight and style
of a typeface. Each font was a matched set of type, one piece (called
a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consisting of a range of
fonts that shared an overall design.
In modern usage, with the advent of digital typography, "font" is
frequently synonymous with "typeface". Each style is in a separate
"font file"—for instance, the typeface "Bulmer" may include the
fonts "Bulmer roman", "Bulmer italic", "Bulmer bold" and "Bulmer
extended"—but the term "font" might be applied either to one of
these alone or to the whole typeface.
In both traditional typesetting and modern usage, the word "font"
refers to the delivery mechanism of the typeface design. In
traditional typesetting, the font would be made from metal or wood.
Today, the font is a digital file.Play mediaIsraeli typographer

Number
A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label.
The original examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and so
forth.[1] A notational symbol that represents a number is called a
numeral.[2] In addition to their use in counting and measuring,
numerals are often used for labels (as with telephone numbers), for
ordering (as with serial numbers), and for codes (as with ISBNs). In
common usage, number may refer to a symbol, a word, or a mathematical
abstraction.
In mathematics, the notion of number has been extended over the
centuries to include 0,[3] negative numbers,[4] rational numbers such
as 1/2 and −2/3, real numbers[5] such as √2 and π, and complex
numbers,[6] which extend the real numbers by adding a square root of
−1.[4] Calculations with numbers are done with arithmetical
operations, the most familiar being addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, and exponentiation. Their study or usage is
called arithmetic

16-bit
In computer architecture,
16-bit integers, memory addresses,
or other data units are those that are 16 bits (2 octets) wide. Also,
16-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on
registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 16-bit
microcomputers are computers in which
16-bit microprocessors were the
norm.
A
16-bit register can store 216 different values. The signed range of
integer values that can be stored in 16 bits is −32,768 (−1 ×
215) through 32,767 (215 − 1); the unsigned range is 0 through
65,535 (216 − 1). Since 216 is 65,536, a processor with 16-bit
memory addresses can directly access 64 KB (65,536 bytes) of
byte-addressable memory

BYTE
The byte (/baɪt/) is a unit of digital information that most commonly
consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits
used to encode a single character of text in a computer[1][2] and for
this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many
computer architectures.
The size of the byte has historically been hardware dependent and no
definitive standards existed that mandated the size – byte-sizes
from 1[3] to 48 bits[4] are known to have been used in the past. Early
character encoding systems often used six bits, and machines using
six-bit and nine-bit bytes were common into the 1960s. These machines
most commonly had memory words of 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 bits,
corresponding to two, four, six, eight or 10 six-bit bytes

Operating System
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer
hardware and software resources and provides common services for
computer programs.
Time-sharingTime-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the
system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of
processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources.
For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation,
the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the
computer hardware,[1][2] although the application code is usually
executed directly by the hardware and frequently makes system calls to
an OS function or is interrupted by it
